After Justice Minister Yariv Levin made a veiled threat that Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara’s job may be at risk if she doesn’t cooperate with the government, her office says in a statement: “The threat of dismissal will not deter the attorney general from carrying out her job.”
Levin has said during an interview earlier that the government “is not concerned at the moment with firing the attorney general because we’re focusing on the [judicial] reform, and at the moment the High Court of Justice will undo it anyway.
“As for the future — hopefully she’ll get a grip and stop thwarting the government.”
